Shelburne Council

There were smiles and tears at Shelburne Council Monday night as a fond farewell was bid to outgoing Mayor Ed Crewson. The popular Mayor, who was unbeatable at election time, wanted to “go out on top” and felt that it was “time to pass the torch.” Monday at council he said, “I thank the people who have put their faith in me for 26 years and I thank you for believing in what we have done and continue to do here, together. These past 26 years have, indeed, been the time of my life.” Staff and Council left to right back row: Scott Wheeldon, Walter Benotto, A.J. Cavey, Ken Bennington, Ed Crewson, Geoff Dunlop, Tom Egan, John Telfer, Randy Chambers, Carol Sweeney, and Jennifer Willoughby.
